History & description

Museum Collection_ Not For Sales

The malachite sculpture depicts the Chinese God of longevity, Shou Xing, and an immortal lady in a graceful and serene scene. The lady stands with her feet together and her body slightly tilted, as she lifts a wine jar with both of her delicate hands. Her long flowing robe drapes gently around her, creating a sense of fluidity and movement. Shou Xing is seated beside the lady, and he is holding a peach stick with both of his hands. The details of the sculpture are intricate and beautifully crafted, with the malachite's natural patterns and hues adding depth and dimension to the figures. Overall, the sculpture exudes a sense of tranquility and reverence, capturing the essence of traditional Chinese beliefs and mythology.

Additionally, it is thought to be a powerful protection stone, shielding against negative energies and promoting positive transformation.
